Hi Wayne and all
Regarding your question on compliance officers I asked my college (she has a US husband) and she understood your question completely different from me. So first is this person working in house or is it someone from an institution like the Swedish Disability Ombudsman or in Denmark The Equal Opportunities Centre for Disabled Persons which is a kind of watchdog on behalf of our government to monitor or oversee that accessibility and equal opportunities as described in our legislation is followed?
If it's a person within a company I must say no we don't have that maybe in other areas like environment and pollution or information to consumers e.g. companies selling medicine to the US market have to conform to US legislation etc.
Cheers
Helle
Sincerely

Thank You,
Your personas are good.
William you might want to add one more
--Esther Marcos -- the another woman
at the center who has learned the web,
but still has to cope with the
disabilities of aging. Esther might
want to learn about how to find
accessible sites on the web.
Helle, in the US we have compliance
officers to enforce disability law in
large organizations. Does such a
position exist in Denmark? If so
would you like to do the persona if
you know such a person. I will do one
too for our culture. Maybe we can
come up with an international persona.
I looked at all the personas for the
WAI Sight redesign. Several are in
the UMTF target group.
I suggest looking at: Martina Prado
(as is), Chandra Weesaw (with recent
vision loss - 20/50 bilateral), Marc
Blake (moderate dyslexia), William
Travis (as is), Jessica Pratner (ADD),
Xioping Zhang (as is), Dr. Su
Sathianathan (Early Macular
Degeneration), Brad Fletcher is a Viet
Nam vet he had a spinal cord injury
that placed him in a chair.
We can discuss the personas on
Thursday.
Liam will talk a little on What
Accessibllity Logos Meaan....
